Two days ago, the French newspaper Le Monde and the International Herald Tribune, the world's most widely-read English newspaper, gave room to a full-page ad. This ad had been placed by the Kurdish Institute that is taken quite seriously in France, where it's located. In this ad, some American and European government-members and intellectuals launch an appeal to the international public opinion. Their main objective is to draw attention to the Kurdish issue.
.. Many writers, thinkers and intellectuals in Turkey, who make efforts to solve the Kurdish issue, fail to get results... It is also clear that they will continue to fail in the future. Under these conditions, the best step to take would be to appoint a person of international prestige as mediator...
if the problems are not solved or no effort is made to solve them, we might some day see other sources starting to suggest mediation as a solution. Viewed from this angle, the Kurdish Institute's manifesto looks extremely important in the way that it ignites the first fuse of a development of grave danger to Turkey.
....
In the end, it's organisations like the UN or the Council or Parliament of Europe that pick up the thread. Neither will you be able to say 'No one can mediate unless we allow it'. They'll catch you at such a moment that you won't even find the time to say NO.
..............
If we do not wish to be placed in such a situation, we have to finally start working on the long- awaited package to solve the Kurdish issue. ...

These demands do not call into question existing borders. They express fundamental minimum human rights recognized by all democratic countries and possessed by their citizens, it noted.
Back in December 2004, a similar declaration titled 'What the Kurds Want in Turkey' appeared in the International Herald Tribune, French daily Le Monde and German daily Allgemeine Zeitung. In a highly controversial demand, it said Turkey should grant the same rights to Kurds that Ankara seeks for the Turkish Cypriots.....
